General 500 Ottobulloni Queries!

[ciccio]

Good morning all
I’ve recently acquired a lad 1965 Otto bulloni which I will use and improve.Its largely unmessed with retaining a large proportion of its original trims.
I know this question has been asked before, however cannot see any responses.
Does anyone know or point me in the direction of where I can find out production numbers for the 1965 ottobulloni cars built.Mine was registered in August 65 so not sure how long from build to dispatch to dealer etc the average was .

Also is there a UK company that reproduces the Italian number plates? I have the original Italian number and would like some made up.

Any 500 members / enthusiasts around the East mids area that would like to meet up and chat ‘500’?
Many thanks

ok from my historey file the F was inroduced in March 1965 simply as (F) untill April 1965

see followig designations of different F versions (bet no one knew that!!)
(F) series March 1965 April 1965
FII series April 1965 July 1965
F III series July 1965 November 1965
F IV series November 1965 March 1966
F V series March 1966 August 1968
F VI series August 1968 October 1968
F VII series October 1968 February 1970
F VIII series February 1970 July 1970
F IX series July 1970 November 1972

so it can be assumed the Otto bulloni was the simple first series (F)
I have production umbers by years somewhere (will find that at some point) , so if you assume a rational spread you will be able to alu;late how many...
but reality probably a higher number for a new release... lots of publicity...

no sooner said than done thats chassis numbers from to followed by production numbers
